WORLD HOCKEY ASSOCIATION
WHA Player’s of the week In The East RON BUCHANAN — Cleveland Prior to the birth of the WHA, Ron Buchanan was seriously doubting his future as a hockey player. At 28 he had bounced around the minor leagues for eight years, seeing action in the NHL only five games. Last year he became one of the first players to sign with the new league and responded to the opportunity by leading the Cleveland Crusaders in scoring. This year, Buchanan got off to another good start by scoring three goals in the first week of play. He counted twice as Crusaders dumped Quebec Nordiques 6-3 and then scored in overtime to give Crusaders a 3-2 win over Chicago.

FAN FORUM
Habs TV Blackout Of Vermont Unfair Recently the Montreal Canadiens forced a Vermont UHF station to stop transmitting Boston. Bruins’ hockey games. Their reason was that Montrealers could pick up the signal and thus was hurting attendance figures at the Forum. Now really! How could a small Vermont station with a weak signal affect the Forum’s attendance. I feel that this act is unfair and unjust depriving Vermonters of seeing good hockey and depriving hockey of gaining new fans. DAVID HAVAS,Waterbury, Vt. Buffalo’s Sabres Team Of Future I feel that what Richard Kavesh said is not true. The Buffalo Sabres have gained great experience in the past three years. They are going to be one of the best hockey teams in the NHL. The young players now have the talent to go right to the…
